    Car CRASHED by a local dealer's service department!(long)

    Re: Car CRASHED by a local dealer\'s service department!(long) Phil, I AM in your area and would like to know the name of the dealership so I can avoid them. Or better yet, so I can pull up into their lot, talk to them about getting a bunch of work done and then say "Oh that's right, you are...

    Radar Detectors?

    I was very close to losing my license in 1996 due to many speeding tickets. I can say that since I bought my first detector then I haven't had a single speeding ticket and I really haven't slowed down. They are worth it but get a good one, Valentine is my personal favorite but others are good...

    RT folks, what's your fastest speed with the top off?

    Re: RT folks, what\'s your fastest speed with the top off? Well, you've convinced me to take that stinkin' rear window out anyway. I left it it thinking it would help the wind situation but apparently not. Walking to garage now to take it out...

    RT folks, what's your fastest speed with the top off?

    Re: RT folks, what\'s your fastest speed with the top off? @#@$$%@#$ Albert, was that with the top off, you are as crazy as I thought!! Were your hands the only part of you touching the car? I can picture it now, your legs sticking straight up in the air, one hand on the wheel and one on the...

    Going for first dyno -does gas octane matter?

    I was going to ask a similar question today so if you don't mind I'll tag along on this one. I usually run 94 octane. Today my buddy gave me a ride in his Cessna and filled up with 100 Octane. He said if I wanted to try some in the Viper the airport would happily sell me a tank full. So what...

    RT folks, what's your fastest speed with the top off?

    RT folks, what\'s your fastest speed with the top off? I was cruising around today with the top off (car and passenger's, just kidding!). I felt like winding it up but by the time I hit 120 mph I really felt like I was going to get my head blown off. I had the rear window in which might make...

    RAFFLE UPDATE! ... Gentlemen, STOP YOUR ENGINES!

    That sucks, just got my "official" mail notice a couple days ago and haven't had a chance to buy a ticket! I knew living out in the boonies had it's drawbacks. Oh well, I guess I knew I could buy one from the online form...my loss!

    The Viper concepts so far...were there more?

    So if DC monitors the site what do you think their feelings are about all the negativity surrounding the Gen III? Must be kinda depressing to hear everyone say it isn't nearly as good (body wise) as the Gen I or II. OK not everyone says that, but nearly everyone.

    Drag race results

    1. From what I've heard/found, the horsepower calculation is quite accurate based on the variables you have. I don't have them in front of me now but you will be pretty close. Frankly probably as close as a dyno is. They are not infallable either. 2. Shift into fourth. Don't hit limiter and...

    PLEASE, save this site.

    Michel, I don't think the answer is banning non-members. I'm not sure what the answer is. I don't mind the smack, in fact I find it kind of entertaining sometimes. What p---es me off though is when you have to read through so much of it to get to the replies that have meaning. I think that's...

    The Viper concepts so far...were there more?

    Here are the Viper Concept cars I could find. Nice lineage isn't it? Any others out there? The first picture of a concept Viper from 1989, pretty plain Jane but raw beauty isn't it? The second edition concept of a Gen I still from 1989, but looks almost a little stubby like a Cobra...

    So close, yet so far away...

    Hey Joe, you are on to something there! Maybe I will get the RT and just put a hard top on it and the wing. That makes a huge difference. I also agree with your point that the RT has the same fenders (apparently identical) to the GTS-R. That was one reason why I was confused in the first...

    So close, yet so far away...

    Why do I so prefer the 2003 Concept GTS to the RT when typically I prefer RT's? I keep looking at the pictures comparing them and really can't come up with the reason. It's just the overall package (wing, top duct, etc.)... I don't know. Thoughts?

    The real original anyone?

    Does anyone have any pictures they could post of the prototype Viper that appeared on January 4, 1989 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit? I'm curious as to how close it looks to the Gen I car that I have. Was anyone there to see the unveiling?

    Two License Plates?

    Busted once a week after I got the car for not having a front plate. Paid the fine, went back to "prove" I had it installed by putting a couple rubber bands around the plate and showed the cop. I wasn't about to do the drill job. They passed it and I haven't been stopped since. I figure I'll...

    RT10 or GTS....why did you buy your model??

    No flames please from GTS'ers. I also race with my RT/10, performance is equal to the GTS because they are the same car except for cosmetics (Jon B will probably correct me on that statement but...). For me it was about looks and wanting a convertible. I think there is nothing sweeter looking...

    Canadian headlights

    I still don't quite understand the term "automatic" seat belts. Steve, what do you mean by "you can open and close the doors and get in and out without undoing the belts in a GenI". If I have my belt on I can't get in and out of the car! Anyway, I agree that if your friend is Canadian he...

    Would someone sponser me....PLEASE!

    Dave, I was going to say I would do it for you but after reading Steve's comments I guess it wouldn't help anyway. Maybe if your feeling lucky you could just enter a lottery to win enough cash to buy the car! I know, it's not the same.

    engine temp

    Mike, I'm with Marv on this one. The thermostat only controls when the water moves and when it goes through the extra piping. Once all that extra water is hot a normal thermostat would be wide open anyway and a different stat wouldn't change the temperature of the engine. If you could add...

    Can The 02 Z06 Beat An 02 Viper

    I Love Vipers, I guess since no one is really responding to your question, it shows that we just don't take the Corvette seriously in the 1/4 mile. Maybe we will in 2002, but I doubt it. I've had more problems with other cars than the vette on the drag strip. What ET are they claiming?

    newbie

    Markus, Did you get a European GTS or have an American one imported? If European, what is the difference from an American one. I hear they are detuned. What do they do to them? Just curious?

    Is Zaino UnAmerican?

    Gerald, you don't need hand lotion, you can use Z5...it removes minor scratches too! Or is that Z2, you might have to try both. According to Sal, it's OK to mix the two. Ignore the tingling sensation, that goes away with a thin coat of the gloss enhancer! But I would avoid the clay bar at...

    Car won't start test

    Re: Car won\'t start test Loose battery post clamp. When you jumped it it had the battery power from the other car but when you pulled off the jumper cables you went back to an incomplete circuit because a wire was broken or more likely the connection to the battery was loose. Of course I'm...

    Names for new Viper Shop. Any Ideas?

    How about Gaboon Performance Inc.? (GPI) What is a Gaboon you ask? A Gaboon Viper is one of the biggest Viper's (actual snake) in the world and has THE LONGEST FANGS OF ANY SNAKE WORLDWIDE! Up to 3 inches long per tooth! Your slogan could be "Want your Viper to have the baddest bite in the...
